Sleekyshuga:I agree with you.my uncle and his wife both have three children of their own;when the children(my cousins) started getting married,my uncle's wife had to go and adopt a girl from "little saints orphanage" at palmgrove. Now the girl in question is in her 300 level in unilag. She doesn't know she was adopted,she speaks our native language which is delta ibo even much better than us and she's also a model. 6 Likes 1 Share |

it has always been on my mind right from my school days when I render voluntary services in motherless babies home and I am very sure I would adopt one later in life, we would play together and I would nuture him/her well to be a great woman/man. So help me God 1 Like |

RoyalBlak007: You don't need any circumstance to pertronise adoption. I and my wife agreed on this even before we approached the alter, we will have 3 children, of the 3, one will be adopted. Adoption is not an escape route of childlessness, it is a blessing of taking responsibility over the orphans. 5 Likes |

Maybe I should also use this opportunity to add that childlessness is not a curse as most Christians even pastors will have us believe. Every woman is fruitful even without a child, there are several areas of productivity, If God doesn't give a child, don't try to manipulate one. Rather look at everyone around you as your child, and do to them what you would have done for your child. One of the questions God will ask us when we go back to him is " how many have you won for me" not how many you begot for me. 7 Likes |

kenonze: That's not adoption,that's hiring house help or maid for your parents, Adoption is taking a child and treating he/r like your flesh and blood. There are other areas such as fostering aswell.i see a lot of people here thinking of adoption as going to a pet shop. People need to understand what adoption is first. 3 Likes |

udumosam23: O God! my heart is melting on this your comment. I'm 101% in agreement of what you've just said. Having a sister who has been childless for about ten years,and seeing how happy and content they(she n hubby) has been all the way; has made my to see life in a different n better light. This couple had trained,nuture n cater for kids that are not their biological children from childhood to adulthood out of love.Indeed they are fruitful! Now on the topic adoption, an adopted child is BORN FROM THE HEART while a biological child is from the womb!...If anyone can relate to this.God is not a fool...we need to understand that anyone can have a child.No one is Barren! 7 Likes |

@HomeOfMe I liked your post, cos of your uncle's nice gesture, However, your post is disturbing...too revealing What if your cousin was on here.... dont you think she could find out if she was astute or the like? You revealed her level, tribe, occupation... I am all for honesty and tell alls, but in this scenario, where you said she does not know she is adopted? It is a tad too inappropriate IMO Cheers (modified) And now it has two shares 1 Like |

I really wish I could adopt but my hubby is so adamant about it. I'm still praying he accept. I need a baby girl. we've been married for a while now and our only son is 14yrs. I can't wait to adopt my daughter. We are building a 3 bedroom apartment and I have shared it I keep saying the master is for us, this room is for my son and this one will be painted pink and lilac and it's for my daughter. I can't wait to have that baby girl. if possible I want the one from 6months that I can nurture and feel the pain and joy of a mother again. 2 Likes |

DMerciful: If that's the case don't bother to adopt. So if the person later now has kids nko By your logic they will then start treating the adopted child badly Real love is irrespective of if it's a biological child or an adopted one. A person with real love in their hearts will live both the same. The minute you adopt the child he / she become your child fully. Being a real parent goes beyond DNA or the process of giving birth |
Re: Under What Circumstances Would You Adopt A Child? by firmytobad(m): 10:01pm On May 07, 2016 |
For me... It's not a question of 'if' rather a question of how many I'll adopt. Imagine every home adopting one kid.... I'm pretty sure there will be none left in the orphanage 2 Likes |
Re: Under What Circumstances Would You Adopt A Child? by Mamatee07: 10:02pm On May 07, 2016 |
@benedicta You can take him on a visit to an orphanage , see if that him click with one of the children and change his mind. If that doesn't change his mind then sorry but you need need let it go. You can pray and leave it, let him be the one to approach you if he wants it's after that. The last thing an adopted child needs is one parent whose heart is not in it |
